7.3.4 Earthing plates
- An earthing plate is a shot-peened plate mounted on the hull to recreate an earth neutral point on the electrical circuit
of the equipment supplying AC power (generator and AC/DC convertor). The earthing plate earths this equipment.
The earthing plate is not an anode: it must not be allowed to deteriorate.
- If it deteriorates, consult a professional immediately to determine the cause. As the earthing plate is mounted across
the hull below the waterline, if the earthing plate deteriorates the boat is at risk of sinking.
Outside view
- Never antifoul over the earthing plates.
